All who came to Father Pat’s Rallies were in search of spiritual growth—the kind that was promised in family prayer, particularly Family Rosary prayer. Father Peyton once wrote:
There is no greater hope for earth than the sight of father, mother, brothers and sisters on their knees together in the quiet of their home saying the Rosary. On their lips, the Words of God… In their hearts, the Love of Mary… Within their home, all the Special Graces and Blessings God pours down on those who make their home a home of the Daily Family Rosary.
There are tales of those who traveled far to be present. In Mumbai, India, where 200,000 gathered at Shivaji Park, some walked 120 miles. Some left home Monday to arrive by Sunday. Such was their desire to experience the hope family prayer brings.
Then there was Father Peyton himself—wearing his life out for Our Lady. May we follow in his footsteps and bring that same hope to families today.
